]]> Chris Vette
When you think of corvettes, you think of the C6.R and ZR1’s, Z06’s and coupes… not many people associate performance with convertibles… well this car may change that as it blows past your race car.

If you saw this silver ‘vert roll up at the stoplight you might think to yourself, “self, why would someone bother modding a ‘vert?” and then you’d probably think “why is this ‘vette next to me quietly pounding the ground” and then as it pulls off you hear it sit on the converter and the turbos spool and you think to yourself “ZOMG MUZT HAZ CAR!”

C6Turbo Profile

For a car that is comparably quiet and looks completely freaking stock this is the baddest car i’ve ever seen and it STILL gets 27mpg on the highway… It’s got a twin turbo kit and built everything… Friggin’ thing makes 861 on pump gas… to me that is effin’ baaaaaddd.

And if any of you out there have a few dollars burning a hole in your pocket you can own this rocketship…Buy it on eBay!

If you’re in the market for a vette, or anything sporty for that matter, you seriously need to look at this thing… You’re missing out if you dont.

C6Turbo Engine

And just as a side story, while following the owner to take these photos he would gas it every now and then just long enough to spool the turbos and lay down about 10ft of rubber. This meant I had to go from cruising in 5th to winding out 2nd, powershifting 3rd and finally catching back up about 10 seconds later. Apparently, 17lbs in the SS/TC isn’t enough to keep up with the ‘vette! Now i know how StunnaBEN is gonna feel after he sees my tail lights when we bump off :P

This bolt on/supercharged Corvette seemed to smoke off the line, but still broke a 1.6 60′. Cant get enough of vette videos around these parts!

The Corvette sounds pretty nice, and the bike has to have a slip on or some mods. Then, you hear the radar detector! Not a good look guys!

]]>
Here is the pass of this, made after countless posts on a certain local forum had people bickering back and forth like a bunch of school girls.

Another video showing what happened:

This year, we have not even had the chance to get to the track much but already it is back going again. So… why not keep you guys in on the action, right? Hopefully the videos and bets will get better, and we will see some more smack talking! So far, it seems that a few people want to take a chunk out of the RX7, but from what I hear Johnny wont go down without a good fight. I also HEAR that Johnny has a another car or 2 somewhere sitting. Hope you guys get to cracking those asses soon. Upstate Carolina needs more grudge! Right now as it sits, looks like the RX7 has a lot to catch up with, but that will make for a good season for the cheerleaders!
A few people are set to kick it off again with the 7 soon, I will try to get some video and post it up.

I have rubber all in my Luie Luggage, trackbite on my gear, and a vp racing through my veins, along with TONS of coverage from arguably one of the most exciting races I have ever been a part of! American muscle never sounded so pleasing, and Imports have never been so quick. If you missed out, you missed a hell of a time!

WCFBH0-2
WCFBH0-99
WCFBH0-143
WCFBH0-271

You know, normally I blast these blogs out with some input, but this time I wont sit around and babble. Hands down, my new favorite event of the year. This had something for everyone, and you can see that in the upcoming gallery. And if this coverage looks shy, that’s because there is another part coming. There were so many usable pics, that I had to split it up into sections. So check it out, and respond with your thoughts on the coverage!

You should know by now that you will see drama on Greasy. Check out this Supra.

WCFBH0-216

That John Force burnout was pretty wild looking, until…

WCFBH0-217

…he hit the wall. I am not sure if he had a break, a malfunction, or just was a bad driver with a big burnout. My homie Julian from Nyce1s knows him and says we can rule out number 3. In any case, I am sure it will just buff out!

Check out more in the gallery!

Make sure to check in for Part 2 of this coverage next week!

I have heard mad rumors about this car locally. People all seem to have a different view of it but one thing is for sure,  it looks stock as hell!

I once wondered about this car being stock and there are a few videos talking about it.

Is it stock? Is he bombing the shit out of it? I have a few pictures of a completely stock car!

Looks stock around these parts to me! The automatic car seems to be just a daily. I would possibly be more worried about the car sitting in this gentleman’s garage…

…shot out to my fellow GreasyBlock’r Kyle Barnett on his photos. Kid is dope with the camera!

This 99 Viper GTS holds the Record for fastest:

  • Stock clutch pass
  • Stock axle pass
  • Stock Trasmission pass
  • Stock Longblock pass
  • Supercharged 20″ Tire pass

1/4 times: 9.56 @148 on drag radials

1/8 times: 6.04 @117 on drag radials

Here is a view of the car running:

GreasyBlocks will have more up on these cars soon. Keep it dialed in!

]]> Jake's Camaro

The late 60’s Camaro rivals the iconic presence of any muscle car on the planet if you ask me. The body lines are some of the best ever created. Add a 388-stroker and you have yourself a red light terror machine, option tag of “get in my car girl” is available!

Jake's Camaro

What can you say about a spotless 1968 Camaro on the street? The 1st thing I always say is that its good to see a piece of history on the street. But whats even better is to see the “resto-mods” which the industry labels these oldies when they have anything late model on the car. Wheels, or anything. I know them as Hot Rods, and the older they get, the more they mean to us all!

Jake's Camaro

When I first found out Jake had this car, it was a goal of mine to shoot it. I never go around to it, and the car itself got better and better over time. When the Weld wheels were added, it was a for sure thing! Jake has had the car since 2007, but the mods have been flowing from day one. It had a stock 350 in the bay when he got it, but soon after was replaced with this Dyer Racing Engines built 388-Stroker that you will see in the mods list! This beast can get out of dodge!

Jake's Camaro

I have already mentioned that here on Greasy Blocks we are nuts over drag racing! See, down here in the southern states we have a few things that make this very clear; a ton of drag strips, very loose emission standards, more domestics being used than anywhere else in the united states, home of NASCAR (meaning tons of machine and chassis work) and possibly some of the best weather for year-round driving in the states.

Jake's Camaro

When it all comes down to it, I may just be obsessed with the year and make of what Jake’s car is, or it could be one more factor. Since the motor is a low compression motor, it can be driven anywhere! I mean, long distance, jagged and beat up roads, on the crappiest of pump gas out there. We all know those bum-ass filling stations here and there that get crap gas. Sometimes you need those, no matter what you are behind the wheel of.

Jake's Camaro

I could blab you on and on with some feature, but Jake’s Camaro does more in pictures than I could do. Plus, that’s one of the goals of Greasy Blocks, not to just blab you on! With a car that passes the 8th mile traps in 7.4sec at over 94mph, there is no blab needed! More coming on this car in a few weeks.
